DJ House Shoes is most famous for introducing J Dilla to Detroit and the world. He was the first to break his records, and has consistantly been instrumental in promoting Dilla’s legacy to the world. Aside from that, he’s a true dj vet who has a rich history contributing to hip hop culture.

9th Wonder…well, you know who he is.

House Shoes and 9th got into a twitter exchange over Shoes’ comments about the Zulu Nation.

Dunno why a hip hop vet would go out of his way to diss the Zulu’s, solely on the strength of Afrikaa Bambattaa, but House Shoes spoke his mind, and 9th Wonder responded.

Was House Shoes out of line? Did 9th Wonder need to throw his 2 cents in?

to be 100% honest – with deepest respect for Afrika and all the originators – I agree with House Shoes here. The whole Zulu name has gotten used by a ton of cornballs over the years to further pretty wack agendas and events. In some of my personal dealings – these cats have used the fact that they are Zulus as a badge that they think trumps all common sense in the name of hiphop… And none of these cats were original Zulus… I’m sorry – but no organization is idiot proof – and just because it carries the name Zulu doesn’t mean it’s ok to be an idiot…

oh – by the way – “DJ House Shoes is most famous for introducing J Dilla to Detroit and the world. He was the first to break his records”… Seriously On? I expect more accurate journalism from you, brah.
